Racing Bet Types

WHAT IS LUXDIV / MAXIDIV?

Lux div is a bet type that guarantees punters the best price on the 3 totes or the official starting price; whichever is higher. Better div is a great option for punters wanting to bet in the 30 minutes before the race. The bookmakers all call this bet type something different. Luxbet call it Luxdiv, Sportingbet call it Maxidiv, Centrebet – Super Best, Sportsbet – City Best Plus and Betfair calls it Fair Div.

WHEN TO USE BETTER DIV – (MAXIDIV, LUXDIV, CITY BEST PLUS, SUPER BEST PLUS, FAIR DIV)?

Better div comes in handy when backing outsiders as the tote prices on outsiders can vary considerably between the 3 totes. However, whilst it may be more useful than top fluc on occasions, it is not a better betting option than best of the best.

LUX DIV BETTING EXAMPLE

The example shows the variances in declared dividends between the 3 totes and also the offical starting price (SP). Better div pays the higher of these 4 bet types.
